Kelly and I arrived in Iceland Wednesday Night, staying in Keflovik, near the capital city of Reykjavik, which is located in the southeast corner of the island. On Thursday, we made our way north to the Snaefellnus Peninsula, a rural area with a national park and amazing coastal cliffs. You are definitely in another country here. Most people do speak some english but almost everything else is in Icelandic and all the words are long and hard to pronounce and/or remember.
It is a beautiful country with a wide variety of landscape with waterfalls everywhere. Some of the most impressive falls are in the rear of private farms that you cannot get to. We've quite a bit of rain but that can bring rainbows and we've had a few of those. As I was photographing the old farm ruins as the sun was setting at 11:30pm, a rainbow appeared behind it. It was a complete rainbow and although I couldn't do anything with it from an overall landscape image, I did decide to take the photo with Kelly in it just for fun.
The Icelandic horses are know for their long hair. They're not wild horses but they can make for some great images. We had one that I really liked near the village of Gundarfjordour where we were staying. There are sheep everywere, like in Scotland, but these have horns. Still working on getting a good photo of them.
There is a geyser called Strokkur that is quite unusual. It goes off with a sudden explosive burst about every 8 minutes. The fun was trying to photograph the bubble the instant before it was exploding. We took a lot of frames but Kelly nailed us a good one.We departed Grunarfjorour on Sunday to head to Hofn, our second location. The big attraction near Hofn is the Jokularson glacier lagoon. The weather is not great but we'll find a way to make it work. Stay tuned.
